In wise words, it is said “Without a vision, people perish”. All too often we are told to make goals, goal set, but the truth is, without the right sequence, you will not succeed. To succeed, you need a vision. In this article, I will help you with the numbers!

We are often told by master personal development life coaches, that to succeed you need to set goals. This has been me at times as well, however, to realize the full picture, will require knowing the sequence, and this for the most part is what people miss out: the vision.

What is a vision?

A vision is like how you are living now, but you predominantly imagined you would live, 5 years ago! What you think about, you become. And this happens from your thoughts, turning into your words, turning into your character, your actions, and ultimately your results. Setting goals for 1 specific area of your life is not a balanced life. This is why those that have persisted to achieve 1 major goal have lived a life with no happiness. This is not to say that setting one goal will make you unhappy, but that if we think more broadly, then we may create a life of bliss. The kind of life that others wonder why you live an extraordinary life.

How to create a vision?

Creating a vision is a simple process, and is one that is mocked by many people – that is to dream. To create a vision, you need to listen to your hearts desires. What do you want to experience in life? What do you want for health, wealth, relationships, and professional life? Many people suggest not dreaming, however, many people waste good time, by daydreaming. Daydreaming, and creating a vision, you intend to live are totally different things!

You will learn by the numbers, I will teach you! Remembering that line from a film called Full Metal Jacket; it took time for me to understand. But, the truth is there, you can’t live a vision without having one, and you can’t effectively goal set or live that life, until they have been done in that exact order.

- First you have vision

- Then you set goals

- Then you act, act, act

- Then you begin to live that life more and more, till you find you are at your vision

You will always need to be one step ahead. Retirement is usually a sign of the ending of a great story. People who live longer or have made it through trying times, that many died in, have always had a vision. So, creating a vision, working towards it, achieving it, and setting a new vision is part of the process of growing from one plateau to the next.

You can be a success and achieve all you set to achieve, when it involves a vision. Looking at your vision often is like looking at a map, and knowing where you are, and where you want to go to.

Have you read about this recently? Our eyes begin to degenerate as we age, causing them to lose their ability to focus and form clear images. The good news is you can actually preserve your vision with lutein by increasing its intake. Read on to find out how.

Before we talk about the effects on our vision with lutein, we need to first understand what it is and how it helps our eyes. Lutein is a carotenoid which forms the major component of the peripheral retina in our eyes. As you would be aware, the retina is the core component of the eyes and is responsible for forming a clear and crisp image of the objects we see.

As we age, the macula in the eye begins to degenerate and vision loss may occur to some extent. Symptoms like seeing things as blurred or wavy; begin to appear. This is known as AMD (age-related macular degeneration).

Lutein helps in preventing AMD and cataracts. Studies have shown that increasing the intake of this nutrient helps in considerably reducing the chances of developing AMD.

The richest sources of the nutrient are green leafy vegetables like kale, spinach, green apples, green peas, turnip greens and asparagus.

However, it might be difficult to rely on improving your vision with lutein rich foods only. Most of the people do not consume enough of these foods in their diet. Even if they slightly increase their intake, it would not be sufficient to provide all the potential health benefits. Reserving a significant portion of their diet for green vegetables is something most people will not be willing to do.

The solution lies in nutritional supplements. Taking a good supplement that has enough quantity of lutein would enable you to have the benefits of lutein without sacrificing your favorite foods.

To top it all, the good supplements actually contain other synergistic nutrients that can enhance the health benefits many times over. Zeaxanthin and Zinc when taken in conjunction with lutein, enhance its eye protecting properties significantly. Bilberry extract also helps improve and preserve our eye sight by protecting against free radical damage.

To sum it up, you can easily preserve and improve your vision with lutein supplements that contain a host of natural and synergistic ingredients. Go find one, and your eyes will thank you for it.

As you may or may not be aware, your current life experience is a manifestation of all the thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviours that you have ever had, or performed, up until this very moment. If you are experiencing dis-EASE in any aspect of your life right now, then you (and only you) are 100% responsible for its creation (if you are struggling with this concept, thats okay; give your mind permission to be open and it will soon become clearer to you). The good news is this: if you have created your reality up until this moment, then you will continue to create it for the rest of your life. And if you are not completely satisfied with your life, you are in a position to re-create the life of your dreams, a life full of EASE, simply by choosing to think, feel, believe and behave differently to the way you have up until now.

I am going to give you five simple steps that will help you to achieve your life of EASE. They are easy to implement, they are fun and best of all, they work.

A life of EASE is a life full of energetic, analytical, spiritual and emotional freedom.
Andrew McCombe

Universal Laws

Did you know that there are laws that govern everything in our universe?

These are not man-made laws, but natural laws of physics that support every minute of your existence, without you even being aware of them. These are principles of the science called quantum physics. Being aware of these principles will give you access to an abundant flow of power that will help you to create your life of EASE, whatever that may be for you.

What on earth does quantum physics have to do with creating a life of EASE?

Well, quantum physics is the study of everything that makes up the universe. To gain an understanding of quantum physics is to gain an understanding of what everything in the universe is made up of. Once you have this understanding, you will know why your thoughts are so powerful in creating your experiences.

Human beings are composed of cells, which are composed of molecules, which are composed of atoms, which when broken down become sub-atomic particles, which are energy. Everything in the universe is made up of energy. Everything. Your car, your house, your television and even your thoughts are all components of energy. If you were to look through a very powerful microscope you would see that the entire universe is one massive flow of energy. This energy vibrates at different wavelengths, which our senses perceive as solid matter. But this is just an illusion, nothing is truly solid. It is only because our senses register this energy in a certain way that we perceive it the way we do.

The sub-atomic particles that are floating around out there as energy are completely within our control. It is because of our thoughts that they arrange themselves as houses, buildings, mountains and so on. Effectively, our mind is the link between the infinite universal energy and the physical reality through which we observe this energy.

Albert Einstein and other scientists have proved that the energy packets (or quanta) that make up the infinite universal energy are not bound by time or space, that is, they are not separate to each other but they are all one. As our thoughts are energy, they too are part of this one energy. To illustrate, imagine the universe as a massive tree that has billions of branches and leaves. You, as a human, are a branch in this tree and even though you are separate from all the other branches and leaves, you are still part of this one big tree.

The reason that we, indeed anything, exists is so that the universe can experience itself. This massive flow of energy has individuated itself and we are all part of it. We are here to be the experience; we have an infinite array of experiences available to us, all we have to do is choose to experience them.

Your life of EASE already exists. If you are not experiencing it that is because your conscious attention is focused on something else. To experience your life of EASE simply change what you are focusing on and it will begin to manifest.

Your current belief system may be struggling with this idea right now, but if you remain open (and to do this you may want to do some further research into quantum physics), then you are more than 90% of the way toward creating your life of EASE.

Creating your life of EASE:

Creating EASE is about using your imagination to design the vision you have for your life. There are no limits-this is your opportunity to expand your current reality, your comfort zone and your context.

I am going to give you five simple steps that will help you to achieve your life of EASE.

Step One-Activate Your Being

Requires you to answer three very important questions before you can move on to the next step.

Question one: Who do you want to be?

There is no past or future, only the present-this moment, now. Now is the only time that you can create your life of EASE. It is not created in the future. If you say, ‘Someday I will be fit and healthy’ you are creating the reality that ‘Someday’ you will be fit and healthy. Unfortunately, someday never comes, there is always only now. If you desire health and fitness now you must say, ‘I AM fit and healthy’. What you are currently experiencing is what you have BEEN up until this very moment. Now is the time to change your BEING. It is through being that you begin to create your life of EASE

Question two: What is your purpose?

The best two ways I know of finding your life’s purpose are to:

1. Ask yourself: ‘What makes me happy’? Remember when you were a kid. What made you laugh? What made you excited? Consider that it was not the activity itself, but the values or feelings that the activity gave you that you loved.

2. Ask yourself: ‘What would I do if I had all the time and money that I ever needed and could do something for others’?

Question three: What is your vision?

This is your chance to wipe the slate clean and change your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, behaviours, choices and results forever. No more settling for second best. Be the enemy of average and create the results you have always dreamt of. Simply list all of the things you would like to BE, Do and Have in your lifetime.

Step Two-Activate Your Thoughts

From step two onward, you are going to create the thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviours that are aligned with the person you want to become.

Your thoughts are the cause of your reality; you must master them in order to manifest your life of EASE. You already contain within you everything that you will ever require to achieve all of your goals and dreams, simply by bringing focused attention to your thoughts, your underlying talents will step forth at exactly the right time. Therefore, you must know exactly what it is you want to achieve and begin to focus your thoughts upon it now. List all of the things you either want or need in your life and be very specific with the detail, because you will always get what you focus on the most. So make sure you are focussing on what you want, not on what you do not want.

Step Three-Activate Your Feelings

Now that you have finalised your thoughts and goals, what feelings would you feel if you could achieve all of your goals right now? It is the feelings that achieving the goals will give you that make you want to achieve the goals in the first place. Once you have listed these feel only these feelings until you have achieved any of your goals.

The more often you practice feeling these strong positive feelings, the faster you will create the same wave frequency as your goals and therefore you will attract your goals with a lot more ease and speed.

Step Four: Activate Your Beliefs

A belief is just your current reality supporting your thoughts and feelings or put simply beliefs are thoughts that are repeated constantly and held as true by you.

The best way to expand your beliefs is to associate with the people and things that you want to be like. Put simply, you must read books, attend seminars and associate with the people and places that you aspire to become like.

Step Five: Activate Your Behaviours

This step is about developing an action plan to manifest your vision into your reality. It is the doing part of the vision process.

In order to manifest your vision you must create a goal achievement strategy which provides you with a simple plan to perform the daily behaviours, overcome obstacles, create solutions and identify support and rewards that are necessary to achieve your goals.

It may appear to you that achieving a life of EASE requires a lot of planning, discipline and commitment. Let me assure you, the results you achieve by following the five steps to EASE creation above will far outweigh any initial effort you may have to endure. By being diligent and making these steps a part of your new way of life you will ensure that your life of EASE will be a lot better than the dis-EASE infested one you may be living right now.

Almost everyone in this world has fallen ill sometime or the other. Apart from illness, many people have met with minor or major accidents at some point of time. This has made the visit to a doctor and undergo medical treatments imperative. But with the coming up of newer technologies in the field of medicine and surgery, the costs of medical treatments are also on a rise. All these can leave you in heavy financial burden. Health insurance has come up as a boon in this matter.

There are different types of health insurances. The benefits of health insurance will come to light if you go through all these different types of insurances and how they help you in overcoming the financial constrain.

Medical Insurance: Medical insurance will cover for the cost of unexpected medical bills that may come across your way, such as diagnostic tests, x-rays, medicines, hospitalization, routine check-ups etc.

Vision insurance: With the coming up of advanced technologies like television and computers, there is also a rise in eye problems. But again the costs of going to an eye specialist can empty your pockets. Vision insurance will cover the costs of glasses, contact lenses, laser surgeries and apart from those will cover regular and emergency treatments.

Dental insurance: Your dental insurance will provide you the costs of regular and routine check-ups, teeth extraction, gums treatment etc. Everybody should own a dental insurance to avoid any hassles and financial burden.

Student Health Insurance: Students are prone to diseases and illness because of their hectic and unorganized lifestyles. With student health insurance policies, the students can now cover up their medical and health expenses, if any.

Short term health Insurance: If your budget is low, you can buy a short term health insurance and provide health care facilities to yourself and your family members.

Business Health Insurance: If you are the owner of a business organization, you can shelter yourself and your employees in case of injury, illness or death with business health insurance.

Individual and family health insurance: With individual health insurance you can take care of your individualized health needs and with family health insurance you can take care of your family’s health problems.

International Health Insurance: Even if you are out of your home country, you can safeguard yourself from any medical expenses with International health insurance.
